Quote:
The paper describes an economic model for China's cybercrime underground and enumerates several categories of participants: malware developers, phishing site operators, crackers, login information (referred to as "envelopes" in the study) thieves, virtual asset thieves, and virtual asset sellers. The study also identifies an additional category of participants—called players—who purchase dubiously-obtained virtual assets, typically for use in popular Internet games. The paper then explains how participants from these categories interact to create the underground market.
